You know what REALLY pisses me off? Every time my phone restarts for any reason - update or no - I have to go through and manually disable all the AI cruft that Samsung has decided my phone DESPERATELY NEEDS even though I don't and will never use it.

Cold take, the discourse around watching original IP I'm theatres does not understand the 3 root issues when it bullies people with the argument 🧵 " I dont ever want to hear no one makes originals" #1 No more more mono culture We are all anticipating our thing from our individual communities

It's hard to participate in media when it's fresh because of all the empathy recession going on man. I am tired of having to waive through bad faith reviews for new stuff I am tired of the numbers people dominating results I am tired of the culture war Chud vultures poising comment sections.

So yeah it's more complicated than "people don't support new IP" considering Netflix wants instant success and no slow burns and that you have to watch/participate immediately for a thing to be a success. Know take that for everything, where it's make or break all the time. That gets exhausting.

Is marathon Good? Fan: art direction is phenomenal,gun play is best in class,tension is unmatched, Audi cues are on point, engagement.......... 20% of videos Social media/outlet coverage: concurrent player counts are not Good compared to destiny

Is this animated movie in theatres good? Searches Top 6 results -arrow pointing to meta critic score or box office return - something something woke - chart showing Emory screenings - the director/women on staff being deliberately misquoted - unflattering frame for review - "quirky"

And when customers see a success story followed up with a mass firing months later,when they hear "record breaking " but them a year later "did not meet internal expectations" not it flopped,not that it did not turn s good profit. It just did not hit internet review number or C-suite funny math.

Lastly empathy recession,this is broad God why can't we just care that a thing was made? The content machine uses scores,steam player charts, meta critic etc to measure if it's good. No discussion about it as a piece of art. No what does the number God say. No regard to the people who made it.

Then we have a leadership moral compass recession. Why In gods name would I want to support a studio, company etc to prove a point when the heads always chop the people I am actually fighting for? The C-suite does not care ,even if they see a success,the line has not gone up enough Cutting time

Leadership is not held to account for their decisions,they are being defended by a combination of wannabe MBA's that rationalize mass industry gutting with words like "get woke go broke","they didn't make what gamers wanted" and the YT grift machine whos standard is the same as theirs That is none

We are in a creative industry recession Every week it's layoffs Did bad: layoffs Did good: layoffs Still working: segmented layoffs Successful?: layoffs Merger that should have been stopped?: you are not going to believe this,but we need to reduce redundant and duplicate roles so layoffs time

So even when we support creative studios the people fans are supporting are laid off. Indie studios AAA studios Indie animation studios Established productions But merch,buy supporter tiers,buy the lifetime sub And we still see layoffs. "support originals"feels hollow when you see this daily

#3 The economy is shit and we are in a recession on multiple definitions. Customers are in a financial recession. Dawg I am looking at my eggs and wondering can 2 eggs last 2 meals. Job market so bad everyone thinks being a content creator has better in roads to success (they are desperate man)

If your customers can't afford gas,can't afford their electricity bill, if spending $5 on a sale for s game makes them depressed whatever escapism they could get from supporting films could (not always) feel like money that could have been spent on food,bills anything to remove stress

#2 A lack of options for originals Theatres used to have a buffet of options. Family, couples, children's, strictly adult, comedy etc The craft of film was expressed in a buffet that rewarded trying other stuff. Why is everything make or break for originals that's not reasonable.

It's not reasonable to ask animation, comedy,action etc. fans to be the vanguard of change every time. Much like AAA why is it all in instead of diversity of choice? The economy is shit and customer's are supposed to be the instruments of reason? To cash strapped media fans that's a cruel ask.

Sure I could spend time on (new animated thing in theaters) or I could support that indie game that's a decade in the making and instead of spending my limited dollary doss on travel, confections I could save for ultimate edition and play that for 8 hours,so I am supporting a new IP just not yours.

I would not have blamed anyone in this piece for just using profanities in every sentence. For anyone on the fence to read "would you still be working in games media in 2026 if you could" Kazuma:" Even after getting doxxded by japanese nationionlists and Asmongold,I'd still do it" Is gangster.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Labour seem unable to learn that in some situations there is a right side and a wrong side. Sometimes a compromise is entirely inappropriate. There’s no balance to be found between racists and non-racists. No balance between climate change deniers and reality.

With the closure of Bioware, the new owners of EA have made it loud and clear that your game is getting the axe if there is even a hint of gay romance, so I'll just say it - Madden 2027, you're on thin ice
